Cold And Raw - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
Cold And Raw is the name of an old Scots ballad Cold And Raw - Song published by Playford in his English Dancing Master (1651) originally titled Stingo, or Oyle Of Barley. In 1690 the name was changed to Cold And Raw.Cold and raw the North did blow, bleak in a morning early;
All the trees were hid with snow, cover'd with winter fearly:
As I came riding o'er the slough, I met with a Farmer's Daughter;
Rosie cheeks, and bonny brow, geud faith, made my mouth to water.
